Blackcurrant juices were produced with an oxygen-excluding spiral filter press and two conventional pressing systems exerting common oxygen exposure at pilot plant scale (200 kg) in technological duplicate in two subsequent years (n = 4). In contrast to findings on previously studied fruits, contents of total and individual anthocyanins were not significantly higher after spiral filter (1636–1872 mg/L) than after conventional pressing (1529–2083 mg/L). During storage for 52 weeks at 4, 20 and 37 °C, anthocyanin levels depended strongly on storage temperature, but not on the used pressing system (conventional vs. oxygen-reduced). Other juice quality parameters like ascorbic acid behave... |
